```auto
MovieClip.prototype.moveMe = function(targetX, targetY, acc)
{
     this.onEnterFrame = function()
     {
          this._x += (targetX-this._x) / acc;
          this._y += (targetY-this._y) / acc;
     };
};

mymovieclip.moveMe(_root.attach.car._x, _root.attach.car._y, 20);

```

try this, with the mc that’s to follow the car named ‘mymovieclip’… 🙂

Looking at ahmeds code it should work all the time, theres nothing wrong and nothing to make it stop working :-\

Oh, and I voted no on the poll 🙂 The forum is a place to post questions and whoever is able to help can help if they want to, so I don’t see a point to having skills in the profile. Unless of course you wanted to hunt someone down and PM them your question and/or PM them to look at your thread, both of those defeat the entire purpose of the forum and I don’t agree with them, so either way my answer is still no 😛
